He has a few,including a former drag one that had been set-up for an Olds motor. It's all there except the motor. Hmmm...I need to make a phone call

If you want one , you better buy one NOW . They are almost gone here in Texas . I have been looking for another one that is buildable for almost a year . If one pops up in Texas ( big place ) im on it and usually cant get their in time .
These trucks were made in Japan by Isuzu for Chevrolet . There is a cult following world wide for them . LUV light utility vehicle in the US, B20, 24 or 26 (model name)in Austrailia , Faster (model name) in Japan and sold all over the world . Fully boxed frame with 7 solid crossmembers . Industrial style Isuzu 4 cylinder motor , think fork lift . Stout rear axle . Strong trucks , but not galavanized and thought of as disposable in some parts . They were sent over 4 piggy back with the first truck driving them into the cargo hull . The beds were shipped unpainted and stacked on the deck , so finding a bed that isnt rusted out is tough due to salt spray . The beds were painted and installed in the US at the dealership so they could claim "assembled in the USA "
Sorry got carried away as i really like these trucks
